Yuna appreciation!! (Crimson Resolve spoilers!)

(TLDR; having a hard time getting through this event, but I love Yuna)

Hello, hello!

I have been very, very slowly watching Crimson Resolve, as it was an event I was suggested to watch before diving into Arc 2 of Magia Record, and ofc I will follow all suggestions from those who have already had the experiences of this story! That is the wise thing to do!

Unfortunately, I have been watching bit by bit over months of time… I’m currently just trying to finish the whole thing, but I’m at the very end of part 1, so there’s still an hour left… for some reason, this event isn’t holding my attention span well at all…

However, that doesn’t stop me from deeply valuing one of the protags of the event!!! Yuna!!!

This precious child who only wants the best for everyone… who is so merciful at heart… who doesn’t want war, who begrudgingly resorts to it only because her hand has been forced all the way…

The poor child who blames herself for all this, simply because she did what anyone else might think to do, and WARN EVERY MAGICAL GIRL ABOUT THE HORRIBLE TRUTH OF MAGICAL GIRLS WHEN SHE FINDS IT OUT!!!

I wish to give her all the hugs in the world… and seeing her tears as the battle’s death count is stacking up… my heart breaks for her, I almost started crying as well…

I really hope Exedra adds arc 2 soon… I would love to have Yuna in my character roster…

Maybe seeing more of her can be my motivation to power through this story??? I really have so little interest…

It would be quite ironic if she completely switches up by the end, rendering this appreciation post taken back 😭 at the same time, I wouldn’t blame her for snapping

At least she seems to be in Arc 2…? From a thumbnail I saw?

So yeah, that’s the post. I adore and want the best for Yuna. Signing the adoption papers as we speak.

Please, future me, don’t point and laugh at current me for being so far off 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you all for even so much as looking at my Magireco daughter, and have a wonderful rest of your days!

“The Strings Are Composed Once Again” part 1

//Nothing better to do when feeling unwell, than to continue a sekai story!

Anyway, Kanade took Mizook’s phone bc “it might help you sleep better to have less screens” (as if it’s not on her for knocking on her door at like 4 am…)

Anyway x2, Kanade’s pov will take over things for a little bit, so I will respond to any rp responses with that account!!

And if this seems rushed… it kinda is 😅 I needed to get SOMETHING out there for ONCE//

u/Cheese-Magica — 10 days ago

AltMizu1 highly foreshadowed direction is being pivoted from

“When will we get that convo between Kanade and Mizook?” Whoever is currently invested wonders…

Yeahhhh I’m pivoting…

Mizook shall get scared off instead…

I’ll somehow get this to circle back into her feeling trapped by Kanade again…

This is not a great writing choice, but if I keep depending on that convo for the arc, I will probably never post anything here again! That convo is the biggest roadblock possible! It’s simply not happening! And so nothing can be posted!

So Mizook is instead doing what Mizook does best :D

Needed a whole post to tell the 2 people who care, that the highly foreshadowed convo of doom and despair is never happening /silly

Here’s a preview of pretty much what’ll happen 😭

Thank you all for even just looking at Mizook, and have a wonderful rest of your days!

(Main series spoilers!!!) Kyosaya Video!

(Edits are a form of artwork, right??? This is surely the correct flair???)

From Sayabayu to Kyosaya, from ship to ship to ship! Maybe I’ll draw Madosaya next or smth, who even knowssss!

Anyway, I used Sayaka clips collected in one video, and Kyoko clips collected in several videos, to create two different videos with the same song! I feel the song Shallow fits them sooooo well! And I adored the result of each edit, so I decided to post them here… except what if I combined them, since they’re the same song anyway?

I love the combination even mooooooore!!!!

I hope this creation of mine brightens the day of at least one individual out there outside of myself, but if not, that’s fine too :3

Here’s the cover I used: https://youtu.be/B9VDDiC-isM?is=BkxZf1JZoY1nQtS-

I will scavenge for the clips videos if needed, too! My YouTube history will make that easy!

The program was CapCut!

Exedra Crisis Advice?

Hello, hello! Back to needing advice, I go!

It’s time for another Exedra Crisis, and… this would actually be my first one, since I have a habit of forgetting to play during them 😅

I tried this morning, and got really close, but then after the third or fourth team, forgot to keep playing… I don’t think I would’ve won anyway given how things were looking tbh…

Soooooo, if Exedra Crisis advice is a thing that is handed out around here… what might be my best move here? Who to choose, who to build…

This will be a good 7-day distraction from the 2-month Sayaka banner… I really wish to pull. But I already spent so much on Summer Homura. I shouldn’t give my Nagisavings a double whammy. Who knows when she will get a variant. I need to save, and to find many distractions…

Reddit posts, game-playing, all great distractions…

I wonder how many crises there will be during these two months…

I will try to only ask for crisis advice just this once, though! (Famous last words /silly)

Thank you all for even so much as noticing Nagisa in one the first image, and have a wonderful rest of your days!

(Woah, I’m getting somewhat better at a TLDR not being necessary… sometimes.)

Potentially Impending Return

(Tried to recreate that one meme as best as I could 😭😭😭)

Hello hello, my return might be soooooon!!!

My brain keeps at random, suggesting making the next part

But my ideas are so limited rn

The vision is no longer there

But the motivation is

All I need left is the vision

We might be getting somewhere

And so I may be back soon

And I’m posting this to put extra pressure on myself, bc if I make a post like this, I HAVE to follow through with it :3

Hopefully I shall be back by

Um

Yeah

Yayyyyy

SEKAI Ships, My Ranking!

I got inspired by the 2023 A menu dialogue in two of these tiers, to make a whole tier list on my current ship opinions!

Aaaand this is the sub where pretty much any SEKAI thing could be posted, so I see no harm in dropping tier lists here, especially since there’s a flair for ships for a reason and that flair has a history of tier lists

Soooo, let’s see, am I cooking or am I cooked? 😅

Sleepy An but Kohane is there, too

My first card edit, I believe!

(Please tell me I flaired this post correctly…)

I just thought today, about a card where An was sleeping and Kohane was right beside her. It was the An card in the second slide! Except ofc, the official art has no Kohane.

So I decided to complete my vision!

Yes, the lighting doesn’t match at all, but I put this together really quickly (so as to not lose focus on the idea forever) and haven’t been feeling the greatest physically today, so I wouldn’t have felt like detailing it more anyway… Maybe next card edit!

For now, anhane 😌

Thank you all for even so much as involuntarily glancing at this post, and have a wonderful rest of your days!

(Scene 0 spoilers!!!) Does anyone else see the vision for this pairing?

This post spoils Scene 0 films 5 to 9!!!

With that out of the way…

Disclaimer!!! I knowwww Sayaka and Mabayu have no chance of a lasting strong connection EVER!!! This pairing is one-sided on Mabayu’s side, in my vision!!!

(TLDR; I really like this pairing and so here’s the evidence and analysis as to why. Maybe at least one person will see the vision, but either way, I had fun writing this!)

So, I know that Mabayu’s most popular ship is MabaHomu, for reasons that are obvious to any Scene 0 viewer… and that for reasons that become obvious later (in later films than the ones I already put a warning for), her second most popular ship is >!MabaMami!< …

Buuuut… has anyone else considered… Sayabayu?

Personally, I adore this pairing, and I have ever since I watched the films that I put a warning for. It’s very unfortunate that Sayaka is doomed to either barely know Mabayu or hate her, but that doesn’t stop my love for the pairing, because I ship it on Mabayu’s end, because by Film 7, Sayaka’s happiness has become Mabayu’s extra side quest!

Of course, everything in Film 5, when the connection begins because Mabayu has been assigned the task of befriending Sayaka, can be waved off as “Homura’s plans” and then later “Mabayu’s vision”, so there’s not a lot to discuss there, except for the extra context that this is when Mabayu commits to befriending Sayaka. Film 6 is where the hints I collect begins!

Yes, I decided to go the extra mile of collecting screenshots worth of evidence. Ik one doesn’t need to prove themselves with ships, all that’s required is for the ship to spark joy, but I wanted to mostly clarify with myself that I wasn’t making the biggest reach of all time. So here’s my evidence of Mabayu’s Sayakaffection, screenshot by screenshot!

Screenshot 1 is at the end of Film 6, where Mabayu and Homura are watching Sayaka and Madoka try and fail to defeat Walpurgis. They both decide it’s too painful to watch, so it’s time to rewind! Homura says, “Goodbye, Madoka”, and Mabayu says her line here directly afterwards. Homura’s farewell to Madoka and Mabayu’s farewell to Sayaka right next to each other… this could be a big reach, so moving on!

Screenshots 2 to 7 are Mabayu, waking up into Film 7, making the decision on her own that she will stop Sayaka from making a contract. Homura doesn’t even put this in the plans at first, and is even surprised by the initiative, so this brings the feeling that the determination to save Sayaka isn’t even about Homura’s wish anymore by this point. It is Mabayu’s feelings alone driving her desire to prevent Sayaka’s suffering that is inevitable once she makes a contract. And she’s ready to accept all consequences if the end result will be Sayaka happily living normally.

Screenshot 8 is just more evidence of Mabayu’s determination to prevent Sayaka’s contract. Even though Sayaka would be more content as a magical girl in this timeline than in others, Mabayu is still determined to have her live normally, after seeing the results of the previous two. Just like how Homura will fight against Madoka’s contract no matter what… no, not just like that. Not even close, honestly. But somehow, Mabayu’s feelings keep bringing me back to Homura’s feelings…

Screenshots 9 and 10 are Mabayu’s desperate attempts to talk Sayaka out of the contract, and her genuine pain from their connection being completely shut down. She truly wants what’s best for her, and to be close with her…

Screenshot 11 is her apology to Sayaka on the film’s final day, and more evidence of her neverending desire to help her.

I don’t believe I need to explain why the 12th screenshot fuels my heart for this ship. For Mabayu to say a line like that, how could I not adore Sayabayu more than I had a second prior?

Screenshot 13 is at the beginning of Film 8, and Mabayu has already concluded that befriending Sayaka is impossible… but she will still act for her happiness. Here, she’s thinking of the distance that grows with each timeline, and how strong Homura must be for continuing to act for the happiness of the growing-distant Madoka… and she thinks of this while watching Sayaka work in the cake shop. I feel like the narrative is trying to get us to draw a connection here. This could be the biggest stretch in the world, but I’ve seen arguments for other franchises, of similar scene circumstances where comparisons seem to be implicitly drawn… is this maybe one such scene? That’s how I perceived it on the first watch, and on the rewatch…

Screenshot 14. Mabayu wanting to stop Sayaka from being tricked. Which pair have we seen a line like this for before. Sayabayu and MadoHomu are miles away from each other, absolutely, but in this specific line, the comparison my mind is making feels slightly more reasonable…?

Screenshot 15 is at the start of Film 9. Film 8 ended with Kyubey’s prediction of the Madowitch ending the world in 10 days. Mabayu’s first thought about this is that Sayaka is still doomed. Interesting!

Screenshot 16 is just Mabayu continuing her Sayaka side quest even in Film 9. Just to continue my point that Mabayu has just adopted the task of Sayaka’s well-being permanently, outside of Homura’s plan which adopts the task of— yeah, maybe I should stop drawing that comparison 😅

The final two screenshots are bonus portraits in Exedra. I unfortunately haven’t found the contexts yet, but we see the same situation reinforced, of Sayaka experiencing joy and Mabayu being super happy for her even from a distance. These portraits are so adorable to me.

… Yeah, I just wanted an excuse to yap my heart out about Sayabayu… I love this pairing so much… it is so impossible, so bittersweet… maybe in another life, their feelings can match…

Thank you to all who even just curiously glanced at the title, and also to anyone whose instinct upon seeing the pairing was not to downvote (/silly, all fun and joy and silliness), and ESPECIALLY to anyone who read my analysis, and have a wonderful rest of your days!!!

Homura Teaches Nagisa How To Fight

Silly post time!! This doesn’t seem to break any rules, soooo…

I still had to complete those boss battle bingo squares, so I decided, why not add a narrative to the boss battles?

The chosen narrative being, Homura showing Nagisa how to magical girl!

Because of Nagisa’s presence in (Rebellion spoiler) >!Homura’s labyrinth!< , I like to headcanon that (tv show spoilers ig bc I don’t know if this counts as common knowledge yet and I don’t wish to be struck down so paranoia it is) >!there was even a small handful of timelines where!< the two had a sisterly bond,

So I took that headcanon further and put Homura in the spot of a mentor to Nagisa!

In battle 1, Homura is showing Nagisa how it’s done, with her coolness and all,

And Homura also finishes off battle 2, but Nagisa still cheers at the end because she feels like she’s already improved! (She hasn’t, but don’t tell her that)

Homura believes Nagisa still has a long way to go, but that’s fine, surely. Just more experience is needed!

I wonder, would it be enjoyable to anyone if I posted these silly battle narratives every once in a while, or no?

Either way, thank you all for even so much as involuntarily glancing at this post, and have a wonderful rest of your days!

Flag Time

//Yayyyy trend-joiningggg or somethingggg

Anyway I’m thinking of taking a hiatus from this sub bc my motivation truly is just… nonexistent… I create all these extra posts to get myself back on track, but I’m rlly not feeling it anymore… and cancelling the current arc is simply not an option my mind is willing to pursue… and it’s exhausting to think of making the next part… so I will just quietly deflate instead… and hopefully have any desire to rp in this subreddit again before the year ends…//

(Hyuluka lore spoilers?) ALNST tier lists, except I’m not caught up on songs at all

(TLDR; just yapping about the tier lists and my perspectives, hopefully my tendency to yap nonstop prevents this post from being low-effort 😭)
(Don’t mind how unserious I am with my tier labels… I enjoy being unserious very much, unless I’m trying to have an important discussion, ofc)

Hello, hello!

I usually just lurk in this subreddit, and consume discussions and analyses, and adopt some opinions and observations here and there… but why not actually post something, just for fun? And what better first (and last if I don’t have anything else to say) post here than the ever-so NEVER controversial post form… a tier list! (Sarcasmmmm)

Except I may actually save myself from controversy here, since my consumption and adopting of discussions and analyses probably allows my opinions to at least somewhat match what’s usual? Idk, it doesn’t matter, I have my opinions and I’m posting them just for fun. But at least I PROBABLY won’t be deep-fried /silly

I spoilered this just because of the explicit references to Hyun-woo’s fate, that was probably necessary, right? Or at least a kind thing to do, maybe?

Anyway, for some bullet points!

  1. I MIGHT be a Sua fan, I’m not sure though, you couldn’t really tell from all lists combined /j

  2. I have no recollection of my specific opinion of Luka, so he stays the lowest because even though I enjoy all of the main 6… I’m not actually sure how I would rate him. Maybe he really IS the lowest, for all I know.

  3. If Candy Scar were on the song list, it would go in the top tier. Zombie Stage and the Sua depth exploration, my belovedssss! Plus, more Mizi!! Her design is so adorable but her lore is so heart-crushing…

  4. I really don’t actively listen to audios outside of what is required of us. Not because I’m disinterested in the series, but because it’s never on my radar to do so. On that note…

… What covers should I start with, based on my perspectives, if I ever decide to dive “all-in” to more of the music?

That question gives this post a purpose of some sorts, at least 😅

Thank you to anyone who read my ramblings, or even just to anyone who glanced at my lists, and have a wonderful rest of your days!!!

Random Nagisa Momoe Appreciation!!!

Hello, hello!

Some spontaneous Nagisaffection/Nagisappreciation/yeah!!!

Using Christina Perri’s cover of this song, I put together some clips (and added the Rebellion spoiler flair because, well, it was probably unnecessary, but the clips ARE mostly from Rebellion, including one from during the Homuverse, so… and also, I didn’t know how to flair this), to express my care for her!! Funnily enough, I’ve made like 4 or more Homura videos before I finally made one for Nagisa, even though my daughter is my fave 😭

She’s so silly and adorable, and I love the depth that Magia Record adds to her, and she’s just always and forever sosososoooooo veryyyyyy awesomeeeee!!!!

I had a tiring day, but I got energy just by making this video of her!!! My daughter is so lovely!!! I felt a strong need to express this in a post!!! (And also I enjoy posting things but shhhh)

I believe we should all donate all of our cheese to her, she deserves the joy that would come from this collective generosity :3

Thank you all for reading my Nagirambles, or even for just glancing at this silly post, and have a wonderful rest of your days!!!

Intermission - A Short-Lived Friendship

//This is NOT the next episode of the arc, but is just… a random thing I made up since Mizook and An are canonically good friends, so the prompt to myself was, “what happpeend to them?” And ig this was also my attempt at having ANY motivation to do anything for the roleplay. I still don’t feel very motivated to continue atm but this did help.

Also, a clarification on the third to last slide since I worded it badly! She’s saying that it seems silly to think that her friendship-ending several months prior to An’s switch-up, would cause the switch-up.

So yeah here’s my sign I’m alive during my motivation drought…//

Got to see Nagisa’s gacha animation in one of my pulls for the first time!

[TLDR: Impulsive pulls for Summer Homura, got Nagisa instead and saw her animation in my game for the first time, might take this as a sign to put in the effort to save for Nagisa, are Exedra photo compilations okay and if so then what flair]

Hellooo!

I felt like making a post today, so today’s post is a silly thing that happened yesterday! Because sometimes it’s nice to post lighthearted stories, no matter how insignificant :3

I was grinding for gems to eventually use on Valentine’s Day Nagisa in the event that she ever comes to the game. I have been doing this for a few days now.

The problem is, every time I do this, I keep Summer Homura in my memory, and then I spend every 3,000 gems on her, because I would really like to have the Summer Homura to my Summer Madoka, especially since she’s my second favorite character. I simply need to learn to really stop myself from using the Gacha like this, that’s all!

In any case, I once again spent the 3,000 gems I obtained on Homura, and I was 71 pulls in at the time, I believe. And then I got really hyped by the golden orb, of course!

Nope, it was Nagisa! I’ve also been wishing to actually see her animation during a gacha pull of mine someday, since I had to get her from the shop and missed out on getting the animation myself, so this was a different blessing entirely!

Maybe the game is trying to please me this way so I stop pulling and start saving??? /j

I think the ascension is doing her favors, because her healing seems even the slightest bit extra strong now! I really love how she heals even when she attacks, for all attack options. Or maybe most healers do that and I’m glazing my daughter a lot more than the meta implies I should, but whatever!

So yeah, that’s today’s silly story. And I also added a silly image I made using the photo feature. I’ve been making a lot of them lately… I wonder if a random post compiling a bunch of the photos would be acceptable.. and what the flair would be…

Maybe this silliness has brought a dash of joy to someone’s day, or maybe it did nothing and I just felt like getting something out there. Silly stories are fun to tell! Thank you all for reading, or even just for glancing at this, and have a wonderful rest of your days!!!
